Latest on turbo and SC systems for VQ35s
I know there has been many posts on SCs for '02+ Maximas, etc., but I just got off the phone with HKS and Vortech and thought I'd post the latest.
HKS says they have no plans for developing a turbo system for Nissan's VQ35 platform. Vortech said the same thing. Even after describing the synergies such a system would offer Maxima, G35 and 350Z customers, the sales scribes could only tell me that they don't know of anything in the works.
Please post if you know of anything different.

I know that's generally the case, but these sales people seemed fairly knowledgeable. The guy at HKS spoke of the system that they are developing for the Civic, etc. My experience has been that manufacturers try to keep the sales people in the loop to feed the customers carrots so they call back.
I'm aware that there are other posts out there that talk of custom systems for '02+ Maxima SCs, but I am primarily interested in initiatives developed by major manufacturers.

I'm not sure how he knows the Nismo will produce one, but he wasn't bs-ing and seemed to have some knowledge about the Nissan scene. He also said Stillen was making an SC for the 350Z too.

The engine is fit under the hood differently. I don't think everything is going to transfer over like you guys think. Remember the Z motor is sitting 90 Deg opposite what the Max is. Call me negative, but I expect nothing for the max to come from Stillen or Nismo.

unless youre proficient in mechanics enough to install and take out the s/c yourself youre going to have to pay someone to do it for you. it costs quite a bit of money. vortech will not pay for the cost of taking out the blower.
i think it was Deac. he paid to have the blower taken out and sent it to vortech. they checked it out and allegedly "repaired" it and sent it back to him. Deac paid someone again to put the blower in again. the problem was still there and when Deac contacted vortech again they said to send it in again. they refused to pay for the labor for taking the blower out.
